Biodegradable Urns

At Memorial Gallery, we offer biodegradable urns for both land and water burials or scattering ceremonies. We even have biodegradable urns that grows into a beautiful memorial tree.

Land Burial

Biodegradable burial: Designed to be buried or placed outside in a natural environment where they will naturally biodegrade.

Ashes scattering: All designs are lidded so that some or all of the ashes can be scattered on the surface of the ground at a well-loved location.

Materials: Made of non-toxic biodegradable materials such plant fibers and recycled paper with other natural materials such as flower petals and leaves. All of our biodegradable urns include a non-toxic water-soluble bag to contain ashes inside the urn.

Water Burial

Burial at sea (or other body of water): Designed to float for several minutes, then descend gracefully to the depths where they will gently release ashes and biodegrade completely within about 24 hours.

Water scattering: Many styles can be opened so that some or all of the ashes can be scattered on the surface prior to placing in the water.

Materials: Made of non-toxic biodegradable materials such as renewable mulberry bark, cast paper or natural clay. All our biodegradable urns include a non-toxic water-soluble bag to contain ashes inside the urn.
